#407 โ€“ Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation & AGI

I need to get to unreal levels of excitement. But your brain has these levels of That you can unlock with like higher levels of adrenaline and whatnot. And I mean, I've learned that in powerlifting that actually you can engineer a mental switch to like increase your strength, right? Like if you can engineer a switch, maybe you have a prompt, like a certain song or some music where...

suddenly you're like fully primed, then you're at maximum strength, right? And I've engineered that switch through years of lifting. If you're going to get under 500 pounds and it could crush you, if you don't have that switch to be wired in, you might die. So, that'll wake you right up. And that sort of skill I've carried over to like research when it's go time, when the stakes are high.

Somehow I just reach another level of neural performance.

I think it was interesting in the early days. I think in the early days, I thought it was truly compartmentalized. Like, oh yeah, this is a character. You know, I'm Guillaume. Beth is just the character. I like take my thoughts and then I extrapolate them to a bit more extreme.

It's fun. It's like writing an essay and taking a position, right? It's like you do this in debate. It's like you can have experimental thoughts. And by the stakes being so low, because you're an anon account with, I don't know, 20 followers or something, you can experiment with your thoughts in a low stakes environment. And I feel like we've lost that in the era of everything...
